Selamat datang di US Crypto News Morning Briefing—ringkasan penting untuk perkembangan paling utama di dunia aset kripto hari ini.

Siapkan kopi karena Morning Briefing kali ini tidak hanya soal suku bunga. Kita juga akan membahas soal leverage, funding, dan pihak mana di Pasifik yang sebenarnya paling menentukan irama risiko aset ketika kebijakan berlawanan arah. Satu bank sentral melonggarkan kebijakan (AS), sedangkan yang lain mengetatkan (Jepang). Ketegangan di antara keduanya mulai mengubah likuiditas global dengan cara-cara yang tidak langsung terlihat di satu grafik atau candle harga.

Berita Kripto Hari Ini: Jepang Naikkan Suku Bunga, namun The Fed Turunkan, yang Mana Lebih Berdampak Kuat?

Pada saat ini, pasar global berada di persimpangan jalan, di tengah perbedaan kebijakan yang jarang terjadi dan sangat penting. Di satu sisi, The Fed AS sudah memangkas suku bunga untuk mendukung pertumbuhan yang melambat. Sebaliknya, Bank of Japan (BOJ) justru bergerak ke arah sebaliknya, menaikkan suku bunga ke level yang belum terlihat selama tiga dekade terakhir.

Pertanyaan yang dihadapi investor sekarang bukan lagi apakah langkah-langkah ini penting, tetapi kebijakan mana yang akhirnya lebih berpengaruh untuk likuiditas global, mata uang, dan pasar kripto.

Pada 19 Desember, BOJ menaikkan suku bunga acuan sebesar 25 basis poin menjadi 0,75%, level tertinggi sejak 1995. Ini menandai satu langkah lagi meninggalkan kebijakan moneter super longgar selama puluhan tahun. Para analis makro melihat langkah ini lebih dari sekadar perubahan kecil.

Berbeda dengan pemangkasan suku bunga The Fed yang bersifat siklus dan dirancang untuk menghaluskan perlambatan ekonomi, pengetatan di Jepang bersifat struktural. Selama hampir 30 tahun, suku bunga Jepang yang mendekati nol telah menjadi salah satu sumber leverage murah terbesar di dunia.

Bahkan sedikit kenaikan sekarang membawa konsekuensi besar karena mengganggu strategi pendanaan yang selama ini mengakar di berbagai pasar global.

Dampak langsungnya paling terlihat di pasar mata uang. Meskipun kenaikan suku bunga ini bersejarah, yen sempat melemah karena Gubernur Kazuo Ueda hanya memberikan penjelasan terbatas soal kecepatan pengetatan di masa depan.

Reuters menyebutkan bahwa nilai yen turun karena BOJ “tetap samar soal arah pengetatan.” Hal ini memperlihatkan bahwa forward guidance, bukan hanya kenaikan suku bunga itu sendiri, tetap sangat penting.

Meski demikian, para analis berpendapat jalur transmisi utamanya ada di tempat lain: yen carry trade, seperti yang dilaporkan dalam US Crypto News terbaru.

Saat yield Jepang naik dan selisih suku bunga AS–Jepang menyempit, meminjam yen untuk mendanai posisi yang memberikan imbal hasil lebih tinggi jadi makin mahal.

Di sinilah perbedaan antara Tokyo dan Washington menjadi sangat penting:

• Pemangkasan suku bunga The Fed biasanya secara bertahap mendukung pasar dengan melonggarkan kondisi kredit.
• Berbeda dengan itu, pengetatan dari BOJ memaksa pasar untuk langsung mengubah posisi karena biaya leverage meningkat.

Pasar kripto selama ini merasakan dampak tersebut lebih cepat dibandingkan aset tradisional. Siklus pengetatan BOJ sebelumnya sering bersamaan dengan penurunan harga Bitcoin tajam sebesar 20–30% ketika likuiditas mengetat dan carry trade terurai.

THE BANK OF JAPAN MIGHT BE BITCOIN’S BIGGEST ENEMY

Pola ini membuat kestabilan Bitcoin belakangan menjadi sangat mencolok. Pada waktu publikasi, BTC berada di harga US$88.035, naik hampir 1% dalam 24 jam terakhir.

“History shows every prior tightening triggered 20–30% Bitcoin drops as yen carry trades unwound and liquidity tightened. Yet with the hike fully priced in and BTC holding around $85k–$87k, this could be the dip buyers have been waiting for,” tulis analis Blueblock.

Meski begitu, ketahanan di puncak pasar kripto tidak menghilangkan risiko di tempat lain. Altcoin, yang jauh lebih sensitif terhadap kondisi likuiditas, tetap terpapar jika pengetatan di Jepang masih berlanjut.

Faktanya, pejabat BOJ secara terbuka sudah menyatakan kesediaannya terus mengetatkan kebijakan jika pertumbuhan upah dan inflasi masih kuat. Analis dari ING dan Bloomberg telah memperingatkan bahwa walaupun kenaikan berikutnya tidak akan terjadi dalam waktu dekat, arahnya sudah jelas.

Dampaknya bagi pasar global sangat jelas. Pemangkasan suku bunga dari The Fed mungkin memberikan dukungan dalam jangka panjang, tapi keluarnya Jepang dari kebijakan super longgar justru menghantam langsung fondasi leverage dunia. Jika BOJ terus di jalur ini, pengaruhnya ke likuiditas, mata uang, dan kripto bisa jadi lebih besar dari pelonggaran AS, setidaknya dalam waktu dekat.

Ownership coin siap mengubah tata kelola terdesentralisasi pada 2026, dengan para analis memprediksi setidaknya satu proyek bakal melampaui kapitalisasi pasar US$1 miliar.

Beda dari governance token saat ini, ownership coin menggabungkan hak ekonomi, hak hukum, serta hak tata kelola sekaligus dalam satu aset. Inovasi ini bisa menyelesaikan masalah lama yang selama bertahun-tahun jadi tantangan bagi decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Perbedaan Ownership Coin dan Governance Token Tradisional

Token governance DAO tradisional umumnya cuma menyediakan hak suara, tanpa kekuatan ekonomi nyata maupun pertanggungjawaban hukum di dalam organisasi terdesentralisasi. Keterbatasan ini membuat investasi berisiko dan memperlemah tujuan tata kelola yang sepenuhnya terdesentralisasi.

Ownership coin menghadirkan perubahan besar pada desainnya. Menurut riset dari Galaxy Digital, token ini menyatukan kekuatan ekonomi, hukum, serta tata kelola di satu aset digital yang bisa ditegakkan secara hukum. Pendekatan terpadu ini bertujuan memperbaiki isu pertanggungjawaban yang sudah lama dihadapi DAO sejak awal kemunculannya.

Galaxy Digital menyebut model ini sebagai pembentukan “perusahaan digital”, di mana tata kelola onchain punya kekuatan hukum, bukan sekadar konsensus sosial.

Dengan begitu, para holder token memperoleh kendali nyata dan dapat ditegakkan atas organisasi digital yang punya aset konkret. Inovasi tersebut membuka jalan menuju entitas on-chain yang diakui secara hukum serta mengelola diri sendiri.

MetaDAO termasuk yang pertama menerapkan kerangka tersebut, menggunakan prinsip futarchy, yaitu sistem tata kelola yang memakai prediction market alih-alih pemungutan suara langsung.

Proyek ini diluncurkan di Solana pada November 2023, dan mengambil keputusan lewat aktivitas di prediction market, bukan metode voting tradisional.

Laporan Messari Sebut AVICI Sebagai Top Performer

AVICI memperlihatkan retensi holder yang kuat serta distribusi yang cukup luas, walau harga tokennya fluktuatif. Per Desember 2025, token ini tercatat punya 12.752 holder dan konsentrasi rendah di kalangan holder besar.

Analis crypto_iso membagikan bahwa AVICI dimulai dengan 4.000 holder dan naik menjadi 13.300 hanya dalam 45 hari.

Saat harga turun tajam 65%, AVICI hanya kehilangan 600 holder atau sekitar 21% dari laju pertumbuhan awalnya. Rata-rata, di masa puncaknya koin ini menambah 200 holder per hari, sementara saat penurunan rata-ratanya kehilangan 43 holder harian. Angka-angka ini menunjukkan komunitas yang tangguh meski ada fluktuasi pasar.

Yes for sure.

Here is an interesting datapoint on the holder front.$Avici is still sitting at 12.7k holders which is pretty impressive because if you think about the net number given a drawdown of 65% it's strong. I think it started with around 4k holders or so day 1 and in 45… pic.twitter.com/pTnn9pItjf

Sektor Masih Dalam Tahap Awal, tapi Menawarkan Potensi Pertumbuhan

Pangsa pasar ownership coin kini dipandang sebagai wilayah baru dengan potensi besar, sebab belum ada satu pun proyek yang menembus fully diluted valuation US$1 miliar. Banyak investor menilai ini sebagai peluang meraih keuntungan signifikan yang belum tergarap.

“My biggest bet for 2026 are ownership coins. They are in early stage right now, not a single coin above 1B mcap. Opportunity right in front of you,” tulis analis Anglio.

Banyak pembahasan di media sosial menobatkan 2026 sebagai “tahun ownership coin.” Gabungan inovasi asli dengan peluang masuk awal inilah yang menarik minat baik dari investor ritel maupun institusi.

Ownership coin berpotensi mengatasi hambatan yang menghalangi pertumbuhan dan investasi DAO. Sistem tata kelola onchain yang mengikat secara hukum bisa membuat organisasi asli blockchain beroperasi seperti bisnis sebenarnya.

Langkah ini bisa berpengaruh pada pembentukan modal, perlindungan investor, dan perkembangan tata kelola terdesentralisasi.

Walaupun begitu, pasar ini masih sangat dini. Mayoritas proyek ownership coin masih dalam tahap pengembangan dan kejelasan hukum untuk entitas hybrid semacam ini pun berbeda-beda di tiap wilayah. Apakah inovasi ini dapat mewujudkan cita-cita organisasi onchain yang mengelola diri sendiri sangat bergantung pada implementasi yang berhasil di tahun 2026.

Bitcoin mungkin sedang mendekati salah satu titik balik paling penting dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Salah satu metrik valuasi utama, BTC Yardstick, saat ini menunjukkan -1,6 standar deviasi di bawah rata-rata jangka panjangnya, menandakan undervalued terdalam aset kripto pelopor ini sejak fase terendah bear market 2022.

Secara historis, level ini sering muncul bersamaan dengan titik dasar siklus utama, termasuk pada tahun 2011, 2017, 2020, dan 2022.

BTC Yardstick Tunjukkan BTC Paling Undervalued dalam Beberapa Tahun Terakhir

Yardstick mengukur harga pasar Bitcoin terhadap biaya dan daya yang dibutuhkan untuk menjaga keamanannya. Hal ini mencakup infrastruktur mining serta pengeluaran operasionalnya.

“BTC Yardstick di –1,6σ = Bitcoin sangat undervalued. Momen lain yang serupa: dasar bear market 2022, titik bawah crash COVID 2020, base sebelum blow-off 2017, dasar bear market 2011…Semua kejadian tersebut selalu bersamaan dengan akumulasi kuat…Titik bawahnya pun selalu di situ!” tulis analis Gert van Lagen dalam sebuah postingan.

Akumulasi whale Capai Level Tertinggi dalam Lebih dari Satu Dekade

Pada saat yang sama, sinyal undervalued ini muncul bersamaan dengan aktivitas akumulasi yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya. Dalam 30 hari terakhir, whale BTC dan holder besar membeli 269.822 BTC, senilai sekitar US$23,3 miliar. Menurut data dari Glassnode, ini adalah akumulasi bulanan terbesar sejak 2011.

BITCOIN'S BIGGEST MONTHLY ACCUMULATION IN 13 YEARS

— Kashif Raza (@simplykashif) December 18, 2025

“Akumulasi terbesar dalam 13 tahun. Siklus 4 tahunan sudah mati; kini masuk Supercycle,” tulis analis kripto Kyle Chasse.

Sebagian besar pembelian ini terjadi pada wallet yang memegang antara 100 sampai 1.000 BTC. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa baik individu dengan kekayaan besar maupun institusi yang lebih kecil sedang memposisikan diri untuk kemungkinan rebound pasar.

Sentimen Pasar setelah Koreksi Kecil Bitcoin, Saat Frustrasi Menjadi Peluang

Meskipun akumulasi dan undervalued tercatat rekor, harga Bitcoin masih mengalami tekanan turun tahun ini. Menurut analis ETF Bloomberg Eric Balchunas, penurunan belakangan ini masih terbilang kecil bila dibandingkan dengan lonjakan sebelumnya.

I get that this year is a drag but consider Bitcoin was up 468%(!!) in the two years prior to this year. That's 138% ann, 8x US stocks. That is sooo much excess return beyond normalcy (even for btc, thank you ETFs!). All that happened this year is you gave back a tiny bit of the… https://t.co/oQ4EuUt64A

— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) December 18, 2025

Peluncuran exchange-traded fund (ETF) Bitcoin spot pada awal 2024 mendorong reli sebelumnya, membawa aset ini ke rekor tertinggi mendekati US$69.000 pada Maret 2024.

Secara keseluruhan, Bitcoin mencatatkan pengembalian 155,42% di tahun 2023 dan 121,05% di tahun 2024 sebelum mengalami penurunan sebesar 7% selama tahun berjalan ini. Ini mengisyaratkan bahwa penurunan saat ini bisa saja menjadi koreksi alami setelah reli besar-besaran.

Analis menyampaikan bahwa reli pasar biasanya tidak dimulai ketika harapan sedang tinggi, melainkan ketika para investor sudah lelah.

“Kita sekarang sudah tidak takut lagi, tapi sudah lelah. Lelah menunggu. Lelah percaya. Tapi dengarkan, reli pasar tidak dimulai selama harapan masih tinggi; justru saat orang-orang sudah lelah, frustrasi, dan nyaris menyerah,” tulis analis Ash Crypto.

Kombinasi valuasi terendah sepanjang sejarah, akumulasi whale tertinggi, dan penurunan leverage mengindikasikan bahwa Bitcoin mungkin sudah mendekati titik balik siklus berikutnya.

Walaupun timing-nya masih belum pasti, indikator-indikator ini menunjukkan adanya peluang unik bagi investor jangka panjang.

Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.

Grab a coffee because today’s Morning Briefing isn’t just about interest rates. It’s about leverage, funding, and which side of the Pacific really sets the rhythm for risk assets when the policy paths split. As one central bank eases (the US), the other tightens (Japan). The tension between the two is beginning to reshape global liquidity in ways that don’t show up in a single chart or price candle.

Crypto News of the Day: Japan Raises Interest Rates, But the Fed Cuts, Which Side Has A Stronger Impact?

Global markets are at an impasse, amid a rare and consequential policy divergence. On the one hand, the US Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates to support slowing growth. In contrast, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is moving in the opposite direction, raising rates to levels not seen in three decades.

The question facing investors is no longer whether these moves matter, but which one ultimately carries more weight for global liquidity, currencies, and crypto markets.

On December 19, the BOJ raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%, the highest level since 1995. This marks another step away from decades of ultra-loose monetary policy. Macro analysts see the move as more than a routine adjustment.

Unlike the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, which are cyclical and designed to smooth economic slowdowns, Japan’s tightening is structural. For nearly 30 years, near-zero Japanese rates anchored one of the world’s most important sources of cheap leverage.

Even modest increases now carry outsized consequences because they disrupt funding strategies deeply embedded across global markets.

The immediate impact was most visible in currency markets. Despite the historic hike, the yen initially weakened as Governor Kazuo Ueda offered limited clarity on the pace of future tightening.

Reuters noted that the currency slipped as the BOJ “stays vague on tightening path.” This highlights how forward guidance, not just the hike itself, remains critical.

Still, analysts argue the real transmission channel lies elsewhere: the yen carry trade, as reported in a recent US Crypto News publication.

As Japanese yields rise and the US–Japan rate gap narrows, borrowing yen to fund higher-yielding positions becomes increasingly expensive.

This is where the divergence between Tokyo and Washington becomes critical:

• Fed cuts tend to support markets gradually by easing credit conditions.
• BOJ tightening, by contrast, forces immediate repositioning as leverage costs rise.

Crypto markets have historically experienced this impact more quickly than traditional assets. Previous BOJ tightening cycles coincided with sharp Bitcoin drawdowns of 20–30% as liquidity tightened and carry trades unwound.

That pattern has made Bitcoin’s recent stability stand out. As of this writing, BTC was trading for $88,035, up by almost 1% in the last 24 hours.

“History shows every prior tightening triggered 20–30% Bitcoin drops as yen carry trades unwound and liquidity tightened. Yet with the hike fully priced in and BTC holding around $85k–$87k, this could be the dip buyers have been waiting for,” wrote analyst Blueblock.

However, resilience at the top of the crypto market does not eliminate risk elsewhere. Altcoins, which are far more sensitive to liquidity conditions, remain exposed if Japanese tightening continues.

Indeed, BOJ officials have openly signaled willingness to keep tightening if wage growth and inflation remain durable. Analysts at ING and Bloomberg have warned that while further hikes may not be imminent, the direction of travel is clear.

The implication for global markets is stark. Fed cuts may provide broad support over time, but Japan’s retreat from ultra-easy policy strikes directly at the foundation of global leverage.If the BOJ continues down this path, its influence on liquidity, currencies, and crypto could outweigh US easing, at least in the near term.

Ownership coins are set to transform decentralized governance in 2026, with analysts forecasting that at least one project will surpass a $1 billion market cap.

Unlike current governance tokens, ownership coins combine economic, legal, and governance rights in one asset. This development could solve longstanding issues that have challenged decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) for years.

How Ownership Coins Differ From Traditional Governance Tokens

Traditional DAO governance tokens generally offer only voting rights, lacking real economic power or legal accountability within decentralized organizations. This limitation introduces investment risks and weakens the goal of truly decentralized governance.

Ownership coins offer a major shift in design. According to research from Galaxy Digital, these tokens unite economic, legal, and governance rights within a legally enforceable digital asset. This integrated approach aims to fix accountability issues that have affected DAOs since their start.

Galaxy Digital describes this model as creating “digital companies” in which onchain governance holds legal weight rather than relying only on social consensus.

Token holders thus gain meaningful and enforceable control over digital organizations with tangible assets. This innovation creates a path toward legally recognized, self-governed on-chain entities.

MetaDAO was among the first to use this framework, applying futarchy principles, a governance system using prediction markets instead of direct votes.

The project launched on Solana in November 2023, guiding decisions with trading in prediction markets rather than traditional voting methods.

AVICI has shown strong holder retention and broad distribution, despite price volatility. As of mid-December 2025, the token counted 12,752 holders and maintained a low concentration among large holders.

Analyst crypto_iso shared that AVICI began with 4,000 holders and reached 13,300 within 45 days.

During a steep 65% price decline, AVICI lost only 600 holders, just 21% of its initial growth rate. On average, the coin added 200 holders per day at its peak and lost about 43 per day during the downturn. These numbers signal community resilience despite market fluctuation.

Yes for sure.

Sector Remains Early-Stage, Offering Potential for Growth

The ownership coin market is viewed as a new frontier with substantial upside, as no project yet has exceeded a $1 billion fully diluted valuation. Many investors see this as untapped potential for significant gains.

“My biggest bet for 2026 are ownership coins. They are in early stage right now, not a single coin above 1B mcap. Opportunity right in front of you,” wrote analyst Anglio.

Much of the discourse on social media calls 2026 the “year of the ownership coin.” The blend of authentic innovation and early entry point is attracting interest from retail and institutional investors alike.

Ownership coins may solve barriers that have limited DAO growth and investment. Their legally binding onchain governance systems can let blockchain-native organizations function as true business entities.

This step could impact capital formation, investor protection, and the development of decentralized governance.

Nevertheless, this market is still in its infancy. Most ownership coin projects remain under development, and legal clarity for these hybrid entities varies across regions. Whether this innovation can fulfill the aspiration of self-governing onchain organizations will depend on successful implementation in 2026.

Bitcoin may be approaching one of its most pivotal turning points in years. A leading valuation metric, the BTC Yardstick, currently reads -1.6 standard deviations below its long-term mean, signaling the pioneer crypto’s deepest undervaluation since the 2022 bear market low.

Historically, this level has coincided with major cycle bottoms, including 2011, 2017, 2020, and 2022.

BTC Yardstick Shows Strongest Undervaluation in Years

The Yardstick measures Bitcoin’s market price against the cost and power required to secure its network. This includes mining infrastructure and operational expenditures.

“BTC Yardstick at –1.6σ = Bitcoin is insanely undervalued. Other occurrences: 2022 bear market low, 2020 COVID crash bottom, 2017 pre-blow-off base, 2011 bear market bottom…All occurrences coincided with strong accumulation…Bottom was in as well!” wrote analyst Gert van Lagen in a post.

Whale Accumulation Hits Highest Levels in Over a Decade

Meanwhile, the undervaluation signal coincides with unprecedented accumulation activity. Over the past 30 days, BTC whales and large holders purchased 269,822 BTC, worth approximately $23.3 billion. According to Glassnode data, this is the largest monthly accumulation since 2011.

“Largest accumulation in 13 years. The 4-year cycle is dead; the Supercycle is here,” wrote crypto analyst Kyle Chasse.  

The bulk of this buying occurred in wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC. This suggests that both high-net-worth individuals and smaller institutions are positioning for a potential market rebound.

Market Sentiment After Bitcoin’s Minor Correction As Frustration Breeds Opportunity

Despite the record accumulation and undervaluation, Bitcoin’s price has faced downward pressure this year. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, recent losses are modest relative to prior gains.

The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 contributed to previous surges, driving the asset to its then-record highs near $69,000 in March 2024.

Overall, Bitcoin returned 155.42% in 2023 and 121.05% in 2024 before experiencing an 7% decline year-to-date. This suggests the current dip may be a natural correction after exceptional gains.

Analysts note that market rallies often begin not when hope is high, but when investors are weary.

“We are not scared anymore, we are tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of believing. But listen, market rallies don’t start when hope is high; it’s when people are tired, frustrated, and ready to give up,” wrote analyst Ash Crypto.

The convergence of historically low valuation, record whale accumulation, and declining leverage suggests that Bitcoin may be nearing another cyclical inflection point.

While timing remains uncertain, these indicators highlight a unique window of potential opportunity for long-term investors.
